I feel frustration comin` back
I`m not sure just where I`m at
I`m losing touch w/ what I`m trying to be
I need someone to show the way
Not someone to share the blame
Well it`s not down to you
It`s up to me
Don`t wanna hang from someone`s string
Or answer someone else`s ring
The things I`m wanting most in life are free
No, living hand-to-mouth`s no treat
Till bitter end the dream`s still sweet
It`s not down to you
It`s up to me
Well, it`s up to me
Lord it`s up to me
It`s not down to you
It`s up to me 2X
Well, I feel frustration coming back
I`m not sure just where I`m at
It seems the times and I just don`t agree
But I can stand on my own feet
I won`t quit until I`m beat
Well it`s not down to you
It`s up to me
It`s up to me
Lord, it`s up to me
It`s not down to you
It`s up to me
